That concludes the end of this section. We went over what it means to be successful as a wedding photographer. We talked about taking care of yourself mentally and physically. We talked about other vendors working with other vendors. We talked about dealing with guests and uh cell phones in your way. We talked about a lot of things about really honing in and focusing on you as a photographer and the value that you hold and that you can do it, especially if you have the patience and the drive. If you're ever feeling down about your business or you're feeling down about wedding photography in general. I want you to remember this section. Come back to it. You have this class, come back, listen to the videos, think about where you are as a photographer, how far you have come because you will find inspiration in yourself by just thinking about who you are and what you've been doing as a wedding photographer.
